Typhoon Teens first debuted as a five member group in October 2018 with members: Yao Jingyuan (姚景元), Ding Chengxin (丁程鑫), Ma Jiaqi (马嘉祺), Song Yaxuan (宋亚轩), Liu Yaowen (刘耀文). In June 2019, Typhoon Teen’s company, TF Entertainment, announced the group would be regrouped with seven trainees competing for a spot to debut again through a survival show called, “Typhoon Project” (台风蜕变之战).
